How do I use the software application for this video extender?

The ST12MHDLAN app is available for iOS, Android, and Google Chrome. To download and install the app navigate to the StarTech.com website. You will find a download link for each platform on the ST12MHDLAN product page under the Overview tab. The device on which you install the application will be referred to as the control device. The control device must be on the same network as your ST12MHDLAN transmitters and receivers. The transmitters and receivers have a default IP address in the range of 169.254.x.x with a subnet mask of 255.255.0.0. If you need to change the IP address to fit your network infrastructure, make sure you keep all devices on the same network. For example, you can change your transmitter to 192.168.1.100 and your receiver to 192.168.1.101. There are links in the description to assist you in changing your control device's IP address. The app will automatically discover any transmitters and receivers that are on the same network as the control device. These devices will be shown in the Devices tab. You can manually force the control device to search for any transmitters and receivers by pressing the Refresh button in the Devices tab. You can access the Menu from any tab within the app. The menu includes a helpful guide to the app as well as the ability to search a specific IP address for a transmitter or receiver. The Menu also allows you to turn on Demo Mode which populates the app with virtual devices, allowing you to test configurations as if actual devices were connected. The Menu also includes Device Administration which you can use to reboot all of your connected devices or reset the connected devices to factory defaults. On the Devices tab you can adjust the individual settings for each transmitter and receiver. Simply tap on a device’s name to load that device’s settings. On the Settings page you can change the name of the device, the IP address and subnet, view error history, and other advanced settings. The second tab of the ST12MHDLAN app is the Switches tab.
